Perfect Venue

As the sister of the bride, I was heavily involved in the planning process, and I cannot stress this enough, booking this venue was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, the entire experience was smooth, supportive, and incredibly professional. Communication was consistent and attentive, and the owner and staff always took the time to answer every question thoroughly and make sure we felt comfortable and confident in every detail.

The owner was truly exceptional. She was kind, organized, and clearly experienced, which immediately put us at ease. Every interaction felt thoughtful and reassuring, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about making the day perfect. Her leadership and attention to detail ensured everything ran seamlessly, and her team reflected the same level of professionalism and warmth.

Most importantly, this venue allowed my sister to fully enjoy her once-in-a-lifetime moment without unnecessary stress. The atmosphere, coordination, and care they provided made the entire experience feel special and memorable for our whole family. Watching everything come together so beautifully was incredibly meaningful.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any bride or family looking for a professional, supportive, and truly outstanding team. They exceeded our expectations in every way and helped create a day we will never forget.

I can’t believe how easy it is!

I just had my second wedding at Encore Event Center, and I honestly can’t believe how different this experience was from my first one.

For my first wedding, I got married at a beautiful winery and decided to do everything myself.. booking all the vendors, juggling dozens of invoices, chasing deposits, and constantly worrying about timelines. It was incredibly stressful, even in such a lovely setting. No wonder there are so many bridezillas out there! I was running around like a crazy person right up until the big day.
This time around, Encore Event Center made the entire process feel effortless. Everything was handled for me in one all inclusive package. I still got to choose absolutely everything I wanted… flowers, menu, décor, music, lighting.. you name it.. but I didn’t have to coordinate with ten different companies or keep track of multiple payments. It was just one simple monthly payment, and all the stress melted away.

I genuinely wish I had chosen an all inclusive venue like Encore for my first wedding. It would have saved me so much time, money, and sanity. If you’re planning a wedding do yourself a huge favor and book Encore Event Center. They turned what could have been another stressful whirlwind into the beautiful, relaxed celebration I always dreamed of.
Highly recommend—10/10!

Encore for Encore

Okay so I don’t even know where to start because our wedding at Encore was honestly amazing.

First of all.. the all inclusive thing?? Absolute lifesaver. Not having to deal with a million vendors, random invoices, people showing up at different times… it just made everything so much easier. We booked it and they handled basically everything. Food, tables, chairs, linens, setup.. done. I thought planning a wedding was supposed to be super stressful but it actually… wasn’t?

The day of the wedding we were just hanging out, getting ready, enjoying our people. No running around fixing stuff. No drama. Everything just flowed.

And the price still blows my mind. We had 75 guests and did the WHOLE wedding for under $10,000 all in. Like… what? In 2026 that feels illegal 😂 and it didn’t feel “budget” at all. It looked beautiful, the food was great, and everyone kept asking how we pulled it off.

If you’re trying to get married without going broke and losing your mind, this is it. I’d do it all over again tbh.

Thank you to Charlie

We just booked our wedding at Encore Events and we had to leave a review because the experience has been next level.

From day one, working with the manager, Charlie, has been incredible. He made the entire process smooth, clear, and honestly way less stressful than we expected. Wedding planning can feel overwhelming, but he breaks everything down, answers every question, and makes you feel completely taken care of.

What stood out the most is how responsive and transparent he is. No hidden surprises, no vague answers.. just straight-up professionalism and genuine care. You can tell he actually wants your day to be perfect, not just booked.

The venue itself is beautiful, the packages are super reasonable for everything that’s included, and the flexibility they offer is huge. But the service? That’s what really sold us.

If you’re thinking about booking your wedding here, do it. Ask for Charlie. You’ll feel the difference immediately.

We couldn’t be more excited for our big day.

Thank you Encore

We just had our wedding at Encore Event Center, and honestly, it was everything we’d hoped for, and then some. Planning a wedding for 100 people for under $10,000 felt like a stretch, but Encore made it totally possible, and they did it without compromising on quality or service.

From the start, their pricing blew us away.. the all inclusive model meant we weren’t being nickel and- imed for every little detail. They laid out all the costs clearly, no hidden fees, and we were able to pick and choose exactly what we needed, which saved us so much. Their philosophy of not forcing you into unnecessary add-ons really showed.

But it wasn’t just about the price. The staff was wonderful both before the wedding and on the big day. Their event coordinator checked in with us frequently, helped us customize our layout, and made sure we understood everything in our package. On the wedding day itself, they were calm, organized, and present, handling set-up, tear-down, guest needs, and even last minute small things we forgot. It felt like they were part of our team, not just “the vendor.”

Our guests raved about the venue: the courtyard, the lighting, the decorations, Encore has beautiful touches built in, so even though we were on a budget, the space felt elegant and festive. And the food was really solid. For something under $10K, we felt like we didn’t have to cut corners on what mattered most. Shout out to Pete for getting an incredible price.

Most importantly, my wife was so happy. She told me afterward that she couldn’t believe how perfect the day felt, the stress she expected was there, of course, but having Encore run point let her actually relax and enjoy the moment. Seeing her smile all day is worth everything.

If you’re looking for a beautiful, full service venue that understands budget, Encore Event Center is a gem. We couldn’t have asked for better value, and the people there truly made our wedding day feel special without breaking the bank.

Thank you Peter

We had our wedding at Encore Event Center in San Diego, and working with Peter Charles was honestly one of the best decisions we made. His communication was perfect from start to finish, quick replies, clear information, and he always made sure we felt taken care of. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Peter made everything easy and smooth.

He also went above and beyond to get us an amazing price for our date and setup. It felt like he truly cared about making our day special, not just making a sale. Because of him, we had an incredible experience and a beautiful wedding. Highly recommend Peter and Encore Event Center to anyone planning an event!
